Description
Crispy, flavorful sliders with a creamy sweet-spicy bang bang sauce that brings the family together around the table.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 12 mini slider buns
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/2 cup pickles (optional)
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces and submerge; cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, lime juice, and garlic powder. Taste and adjust heat or sweetness as desired; let the sauce sit for a few minutes.
- In a shallow dish, mix flour and panko. Remove the chicken from the marinade, let excess drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Fry in 350°F (175°C) oil in batches until golden and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side; drain on paper towels or a wire rack.
- Lightly toast the slider buns. Spread Bang Bang sauce on the bottom buns, top with fried chicken, shredded lettuce, red onion, and pickles if desired. Garnish with cilantro and cap with the top bun.
- Transfer sliders to a serving platter and serve with extra Bang Bang sauce for dipping.
Notes
Marinate chicken overnight for deeper flavor; the sauce can be adjusted for sweetness or spice. These sliders are best served warm and can be customized for gatherings.
